  • REPAIR OF REFRACTORY BONE NONUNION IN THE DISTAL HUMERUS

    Objective To investigate the effect of microsurgical repair of refractory bone defects and nonunion in distal humers. Methods Twelve cases of bone defects and nonunion indistal humerus wererepaired with free vascularised fibular graft and fixed with the anatomical bone plate. Of the 12 cases, 8 had pseudarthrosis, and 4 had bone defects 3-5 cm. Fibular graft ranged from 5-15 cm, 8.5 cm in average. Results After a follow-up of 3-18 months, 8.5 months in average, all cases of free vascularised fibular graft healed within 38 months. The fibular graft thickenedas time passed. Normal recessive osseous elbow joint, improvement in the inflection and extension of elbow joint, and normal revolving of antebrachium were attained. The short of limbs were corrected. Satisfactory functions of supporting and fine operation were attained. Conclusion With the support of anatomical bone plate, the fibular graft can help the recovery of joint functionand repair bone defects and nonunion as to avoid joint replacement with prosthesis.

  • TREATMENT OF PROXIMAL HUMERAL DEFECT DUE TO BONE TUMOR BY USE OF NONINTERNAL FIXATION FIBULARAUTOGRAFT

    Objective To study the reparative and reconstructive for proximal humerus defect due to the excision of bone tumor with noninternal fixation non-vascularised fibular autografts. Methods From June 1991 toDecember 2003, 26 non-vascularised fibular grafts were used as substitutes for repair and reconstruction after resection for bone tumors on proximal humerus. Fifteen cases were given curettage and fibular supporting internal fixation, the other 11 cases were given tumor resection and joint reconstruction with proximal fibular graft. The age ranged from 6 to 41 years. Out of 26 patients, 5 had giant cell tumor, 9 had bone cysts, 8 had fibrous dysplasia and 4 had enchondroma. Results Twenty-six patients were followed up from 1 to 12 years (3.4 years on average). Local recurrence was found in 2 cases, and 1 of them died of lung metastasis. Both outlook and function of the reconstructed joints have good results in 15 proximal humeral joint surface reserved cases. Of them, 3 children gained normal shoulder function 3 weeks after operation. Part function were obtained in the other 11 fibular grafts substituted proximal humeral defect. Conclusion Non-vascularised fibular grafts is an appropriate treatment option for proximal humerus bone defect due to excision of bone tumor.

  • LIMB SALVAGE SURGERY FOR WRIST IN BONE TUMOR BY USING FREE VASCULARISED FIBULAR GRAFT WITH FIBULAR HEAD OR SIMPLE FIBULAR GRAFT

    Objective To compare the long-term results of vascularised fibulargraft and simple autologous fibular graft for reconstruction of wrist after distal bone tumor resection.Methods From January 1979 to September2002, 15 patients with wrist defects due to distal bone tumor resection were treated with vascularised fibular graft or simple autologous fibular graft and followed up 1 year. The results were graded with Enneking’s system and evaluated radiographicallyaccording to the “International Symposium on Limb Salvage”. The grade system included limb function, radiological examination and the function of ankle. Results The limb function of 8 patients with vascularised fibular graft restored to 80% of normal function and the bone union was achieved within 6 months. The limbfunction of 6 patients with simple autologous fibular graft restored to 67% of normal function. The bony union was achieved within 6 months in 4 cases with thebone graft less than 5 cm and in the 13th and 16th months in 2 cases with the bone graft more than 12 cm. Conclusion It is suitable to use the headof fibular boneas a substitute for the distal radius. The healing of vascularised fibular graft is very quick and haven’t the bone resorption. So in the procedure for reconstruction and limb salvage after bone tumor resection of distal radius, the free vascularised fibular graft with fibular head is an ideal substitute.

  • REPAIR OF BONE DEFFECT OF DISTAL END OF RADIUS AND ITS FUNCTIONAL RESTORATION

    The treatmen t of the bone defect of the distal part of the radiu s included repair of the bone defect and resto rat ion of the funct ion of the w rist jo in t. Since 1979, th ree operat ive methods w ere u sed to t reat 13 cases, and they w ere graf t ing of the vascu larized f ibu la by anastom rsis f ibu lar vessels, graf t ing of upper part of f ibu lar w ith lateral inferio rgen icu lar artery and graf t ing vascu larized scapu la f lap. Follow up had been carried ou t from1 to 10 years. The resu lt w as sat isfacto ry. The discu ssion included the repair of the defect of the m iddle o r distal part of the radiu s, the operat ive methods, main at ten t ion s and indications. It was considered that it shou ld be based on the length of bone defect wh ile the operative method was considered.

  • STAGED TREATMENT OF INFECTIOUS LONG BONE DEFECT IN LOWER EXTREMITY

    ObjectiveTo explore the clinical application and effectiveness of antibiotic-loaded cement spacer combined with free fibular graft in the staged treatment of infectious long bone defect in the lower extremity. MethodsA retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data from 12 patients with infectious long bone defect in the lower extremity between June 2010 and June 2012. Of the 12 cases, there were 9 males and 3 females with an average age of 33 years (range, 19-46 years), including 3 cases of femoral shaft bone defect, 7 cases of tibial shaft bone defect, and 2 cases of metatarsal bone defect. The causes were traffic accident injury in 7 cases, crashing injury in 3 cases, and machine extrusion injury in 2 cases. The length of bone defect ranged from 6 to 14 cm (mean, 8 cm). The soft tissue defect area ranged from 5.0 cm×3.0 cm to 8.0 cm×4.0 cm companied with tibial shaft and metatarsal bone defect in 9 cases. The sinus formed in 3 femoral shaft bone defects. The time between injury and operation was 1-4 months (mean, 2 months). At first stage, antibiotic-loaded cement spacer was placed in the bone defect after debridement and the flaps were used to repair soft tissue defect in 9 cases; at second stage (6 weeks after the first stage), defect was repaired with free fibular graft (7-22 cm in length, 14 cm on average) after antibiotic-loaded cement spacer removal. The area of the cutaneous fibular flap ranged from 6.0 cm×4.0 cm to 10.0 cm×5.0 cm in 10 cases. ResultsAll wounds healed by first intention, and the healing time was 12-18 days, 14 days on average. Twelve cases were followed up 12-36 months (mean, 17 months). Bone healing time ranged from 4 to 6 months (5.5 months on average). The cutaneous fibular flap had good appearance. The function at donor site was satisfactory; no dysfunction of the ankle joint or tibial stress fracture occurred after operation. The mean Enneking score was 25 (range, 20-28) at last follow-up. ConclusionInfection can be well controlled with the antibiotic-loaded cement spacer during first stage operation, and free fibular graft can increase the bone defect healing rate at second stage. Staged treatment is an optimal choice to treat infectious long bone defect in the lower extremity.
